Been there twice. Loved it, and can't wait to see what it's like in 5 years. They overthrew their government for the same reasons we did here in America 250 years ago - taxation without representation. It never works and will always fail eventually. If society has evolved from riding a horse through town screaming "the British are coming" into tweets from a cell phone, then so be it. The message is still the same. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Archive http://marc.info/?l=jaxlug-list&r=1&w=2 RSS Feed http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/maillist.xml Unsubscribe [email protected]
